The Happenings

It has been raining here on and off due to Ophelia off of the coast. They believe that she will become a hurricane in the next few days. =( Lets hope that she doesn’t land.

I actually had a productive day at work. Sometimes I feel as if I’m so busy running around and putting out small fires that I don’t get anything accomplish. On the days that I get something done, I feel good. =)

I have a few things to do for work here tonight. I hope I have the thought process to get it done……lol

I did get all the receipts organized, now I need to do the long process of entering them into quickbooks. I’m hoping to be able to get them done this weekend. Then I won’t be stressing it all by the end of the year to get it done.

I’ve been so busy since I got back from Indiana, that I never finished up about that weekend. There isn’t much to tell except that I really enjoyed being able to see and visit everyone. Mom did surprise me. She gave me a few family things that I didn’t expect. One of them being a picture of my dad taken in ‘Nam. It is a simple black and white picture, but what I really like about it is what it tells me about him. He looks so young, but his eyes shows him getting older (for lack of a better term) with what he has seen & experience there. Just gives me a sense of my dad’s history.

Mom also gave me a costume jewelry penant. She has had it for along as I could remember, but I never knew the story behind it. It was made my great-aunt Maria and my great-uncle Al painted a peacock on it. So I thought that was really cool.

Now I need to get off my ass & do the litter boxes……….lol

Keeping Busy

It was my first day off in week. I was going to do the schedule at home, but decided that it could wait until tomorrow night.

I did finally get to looking for doctors and dentist that works with my insurance. I was so not looking forward to that. I would look it up and then paste the info to Word so I would be able to print it out and make my notes as I call around. Well, dang word would never print it…..would say “that word is preparing the background for print”….It was starting to piss me off.

I finally just started calling and tried to take notes. My handwritting sucks so I was hoping I wouldn’t screw it up. Luckily I was able to get a dentist appt. next week and one for a doctor by the end of the month. I really didn’t think I was going to be able to get into the doctor until next month, so I was pleased about that.

Dang, pc has been slow as crap. =( I can’t even surf my news sites without it taking forever.

I got laundry caught up, I really need to do the litters but I’m so burnt out over stressing on getting things done at work that I really don’t want to do crap…….lol

We got moved to new servers & looks like most of the bugs are taking care of. If there is any problem email me so I can see about having that taken care of.

Harold has started to make a bunch of nice for us, since we are heading into the height of hurricane season. He put one of 5 gal. jugs of water in our deep freezer & opened it so it won’t crack when it froze up. Blocks of ice will come in every handy if we lose power. By this time last year we were in the middle of Francis & after seeing what happened in New Orleans……we just want to make sure that we are prepared. We just need to get a battery operated latern. The oil lamp & candles gives off way too much heat.

I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I need to start on the receipts (3-4 months worth) so I can feel as if I’m making head way. I have to work early tomorrow, so I’ll be in bed early tonight. =)

Here is a pic that Sandi emailed to me of us at her wedding :

The Baptist Dog

Ever mindful of the congregation, the Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog, and knew that the dog also had to be a Baptist.

They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs.

Finally, they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted.

The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife.

“Fetch the Bible,” he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought it to the owner.

“Now find Psalm 23,” he commanded. The dog dropped the Bible to the floor, and showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed through and finding the correct passage, pointed to it with his paw. The pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog. That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate several Bible verses. The visitors were very impressed. One man asked,

“Can he do regular dog tricks, too?”

“I haven’t tried yet” the pastor replied. He pointed his finger at the dog. “HEEL!” the pastor commanded. The dog immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor’s forehead and began to howl. The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said,

“Good Lord! He’s Pentecostal!”
